Annual CUE Research Forum 2021
The Annual CUE Research Forum, hosted on Friday, April 16, 2021, was a success!
At the first ever CUE Research Forum to be held entirely online, 33 posters were presented by undergraduate and graduate students, who represented eight departments and three Faculties.
With this event, CUE showcased and celebrated the exciting accomplishments of its students and faculty, who are advancing research and innovation across a wide range of disciplines.
The Forum was opened by CUE’s President and Vice Chancellor, Dr. Tim Loreman, and poster presentations in two categories (undergraduate and graduate) were judged by panels of faculty members and instructors.
Participants were judged on the content and design of their posters and abstracts; the content of their presentations; their responses to judges’ questions; and their overall performance. We thank all of our judges for their hard work and dedication!
